By definition digital marketing (aka online marketing) promotes a client’s brand, products and services via the internet or other digital channels. A digital marketing campaign is typically delivered via an electronic device, such as computer, tablet, phone or other medium, and leverages one or more channels, such as social media, search engines, websites, email and others, as chosen by the digital marketer based on your goals, to raise brand awareness amongst potential and current customers.

A digital marketer finds creative solutions to drive brand awareness and lead generation via free or paid digital channels, including email, search engines, social media, the company’s website and blog. The exact mix will depend on the client’s specific goals. The digital marketer focuses on relevant KPIs (key performance indicators) to measure performance and maximize revenue potential. Some companies have in-house digital marketers whilst others prefer to outsource, seeking different skills in agencies or freelancers, depending on their channel mix.

Nowadays, it’s no longer a case of IF you have a digital presence but HOW good you are at making the most of your digital presence so you can be, and stay, competitive. That’s where digital marketing plays a critical role. Consumers are becoming increasingly sophisticated. They have higher expectations when it comes to the brands they engage with and the many ways they can be reached, such as video, email, search engines, social media.
